PISTON AS 6E4358 - Caterpillar

System Operation Description:The OCP performs the following using an independent engine speed sensor that is dedicated to OCP use only
Determines the engine speed, in rpm, from the Magnetic Pickup (Engine Speed Sensor) input pins
Detects diagnostics on the sensor
Annunciates an engine over/under speed conditionThe engine speed sensor is mounted on the flywheel housing of the engine.The sensor creates a sine wave signal. The signal is created from passing ring gear teeth. The rate of the signal is one pulse per tooth. The sensor sends the sine wave signal to the OCP. The frequency of the signal is directly proportional to the speed of the engine.Conditions Which Generate This Code:This code is generated when the OCP has determined that an incorrect signal from the engine speed sensor has occurred or an overspeed/underspeed condition has occurred.Refer to the engine Troubleshooting manual to for more information on engine over/under speed conditions for your particular genset.
Illustration 1 g02322594Note: The Engine Speed Sensor is commonly referred to as magnetic pickup.Test Step 1. PERFORM THE INITIAL CHECK.
Check for active diagnostic codes on the Engine ECM and the OCP. If any codes are present, correct the diagnostic codes first. Expected Result:No other diagnostic codes or indicators are active.Results:
OK - No other diagnostic codes or indicators are active. Proceed to Test Step 2
NOT OK - Another diagnostic code is active or an indicator is active.Repair: Exit this procedure. Troubleshoot the active code or indicator. Resume normal operation and verify that the problem has been corrected.STOPTest Step 2. CHECK THE SETPOINTS.
View the Engine Speed Monitor Setpoints. Make a note of all the setpoints. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Electronic Control Module (ECM) - Configure". Compare the setpoints against the default setpoints of the particular generator set. Expected Result:The setpoints are correct.Results:
OK - The setpoints are correct. Proceed to Test Step 3
NOT OK - The setpoints are NOT correct.Repair: Reprogram the setpoints. Reset the genset. Resume normal operation and verify that the problem has been corrected.STOPTest Step 3. CHECK THE HARNESS AND THE SPEED SENSOR.
Press the Stop key on the OCP control.
Disconnect the harness connector from the OCP.
At the OCP harness connector, measure the resistance from pin 63 to pin 64. Expected Result:The resistance is between 100 to 350 ohms.Results:
OK - The resistance is between 100 to 350 ohms. Proceed to Test Step 4.
NOT OK - The resistance is not between 100 to 350 ohms. The harness wiring or the speed sensor may have failed. Proceed to Test Step 5.Test Step 4. CHECK FOR AN INTERMITTENT FAULT
Press the Stop key on the OCP control.
Check the OCP display for a speed sensor diagnostic code. Expected Result:A speed sensor diagnostic code should not appear on the upper display.Results:
OK - A speed sensor diagnostic code does not appear on the OCP display.Repair: This step has corrected the problem. Resume normal operation.STOP
NOT OK - A speed sensor diagnostic code appears on the OCP display. Proceed to Test Step 5.Test Step 5. CHECK THE RESISTANCE OF THE ENGINE SPEED SENSOR.
Disconnect the sensor from the
